Two Stories from the Recent Past

Directed by Károly Makk

With István Avar, Mari Törőcsik, Elma Bulla, Antal Páger and Ferenc Bács

Hungary, 1944. Two separate stories examine survival and moral compromise during the final months of World War II. In the first, a fleeing army officer disguises himself as a priest to seek refuge inside a monastery, slowly adapting to the community he set out to deceive. In the second, a Jewish family hides in a secluded villa with the help of a seemingly loyal caretaker, only to face sudden betrayal as the front draws closer.
